The route begins in Berlin. With the river Panke by your side, you head for Bernau. The route takes you through forests and across hills in a landscape shaped by the ice age. Barnim nature park and Schorfheide-Chorin biosphere reserve offer unspoilt nature. Along the route you can find cultural treasures such as stately homes, churches, abbeys and museums. At Nieden the river you are following changes its name from Ucker to Uecker, then accompanies the route to Ueckermünde. After Anklam, the tour continues to Usedom Island, home to the old imperial resorts of Ahlbeck, Heringsdorf and Bansin. Your tour ends in Peenemünde on the Peenestrom strait.

Terrain: the route is mainly level, but with hilly sections, and runs largely on dedicated cycle paths away from traffic. Some sections use farm tracks.
